DarkElvenArchon

Dark Elven Archon.
I used the night elf texture and added an evil dark elf spice.

Update: rewrapped texture of the arm, changed fixed cape animations, fixed weapon animations and added ribbon emmiter to the attack and the sam animation.

Update: Fixed twitching of tle legs in the attack animations

Keywords:
Dark elf, archon, evil, warden.

Update:
Fixed death animation.

This is a rather nice idea. Our database lacks Dark Elves. And the execution isn't bad at all. However there are a few issues that need fix, some that could be improved: At his non-hero death, he firstly sinks on the ground in Decay Flesh, and then...

All issues are fixed and the model works in-game. Good job.

Misha: honestly.. I've seen you do better.. this body shape isn't man-like enough, it gets distorted by some HeroWarden animations, some parts like ears aren't visible from all angles, colors of the unit don't match well, boots are.. bland (and i don't like that spike on 'em) crown/helmet and weapon could use being more epic.. shoulders are also lacking in shape.. there's lot more things, but i'll leave some to you to tinker with, and make it look good next time, a'right?

MiniMage: I would suggest you to change your walk animation to something else and working more on the mesh to make the model look manly.
 
This is a rather nice idea. Our database lacks Dark Elves. And the execution isn't bad at all. However there are a few issues that need fix, some that could be improved:
  • At his non-hero death, he firstly sinks on the ground in Decay Flesh, and then the bones appear. The flesh corpse should sink beneath the bones. And then, the bones should sink/disappear slowly. Currently they disappear suddenly. (Also, the blood spawned effect takes place a bit late)
  • He's apparently male, but his animations are more feminine. You could try getting rid of that (or leave him rather girly. It isnt so critical and well, no prejudices from my part. xD)
Except for that it's a nice asset. The texture coice is great. Awaiting update.
